Limited Tickets.

The Thomasville Enterprise says there
is a gentleman stopping at one Of the
hotels there who came from New York
some weeks ago. at the time he left the
metropolis he was quite an invalid, and
did not feel equal to the task Of making
the entire trip without stop. In the first
place, be found great difficulty In getting
any information as to routes, rates, etc.
Finally, however, he found that he could
secure a limited through ticket via the
Atlantic Coast Line for 500 80. He could
not secure the same ticket by any other
route. An unlimited ticket by the
same route would have cost $50 50.
AS we have before stated, he
was not equal to the unbroken trip, and
to avoid the additional cost for an unlim-
tied ticket, he bought ticket to Wash
ington. Next he bought ticket to Sa-
vannah, and there he bought ticket to
TnOmasvllle. By this means he was
enabled to stop over. The strangest part
is that the tickets bought at local rates
cost in the aggregate precisely what he
had been asked for a limited ticket. Ii
has been thought that the purchase oil
limited tickets was in the nature of a long
and unbroken haul, and gave reduced
rates, while unlimited tickets were based
on local charges.

GODS INSTRUMENT.
DIR. Bacon Lectures Upon the New
Testaments Canonicity.

Rev. DIR. Bacon gave the fourth OF his
series Of weekly lectures at the lndepen-
dent church lecture room last night.
This lecture was perhaps the most in
teresting of the series. There was the
same aptitude In conveying exegetical
Information and the same happy style oil
going straight to the core and glst OF tue
subject as formerly, with charming
simplicity of LANGUAGE and clearness Of
enunciation superadded. The following
is brief synopsis:
ain my last lecture introduced you to
two words out OF the scientific vocabulary
OF the Observation-Disclosures and
authenticity 1 now make you ac-
quainted with a third technically of
another meaning yet, 'canonicity,'
or the right OF any particular writing to
place in the volume which gives
us the rules OF Christian
truth and duty. A writing may
be genuine but not authentic. and anthem
tic but not genuine. 1t may be both
authentic and genuine but not canonical,
and canOnlcal although neither genuine
nor authentic. Before we come to the in
teresting and important historical ques-
ton, How does the New Testament come
to be just what it isy let us ask ourselves
on what grounds we ourselves receive 1t

pulpits, all our homes, all our closets Of
meditation, as being a book of divine
teaching and authority? L answer
for myself that it Is, at the outset, by
force of tradition from those whom we
love and honor. Then, we find 1t, the
world over, working the works of God
and 80 proving itself Gods instrument.
We look back through the ages and find
IL substantially the same, back to within
three generations of the days of the Apos-
ties, and doing the like work. Thus we
receive the Bible from the church. the
communion of saints, and not according
to the common Protestant notion) the
church from the Bible. Only by the
church we mean the communion of
SAINTS the whole communion OF all the
saints.
"But is there no variation and diver
gence in this testimony of the church
to the Bible? Certainly there is. Some
books have been included in the early
days which we now exclude, and some
which we include were long in coming to
universal acceptance.
But the variations are far less notable
than the prevailing unanimity. The
common consent of Christian souls is I'M
mislakable." The eloquent lecturer than
spoke OF the New Testament as an in
strument OF the Holy Spirit in the world,
with its quickening power and uplifting
force, shedding moral and spiritual light
along the highway Of the Christian pill
grmage. In conclusion he spoke OF
the millions who have grOped
their way out of the night OF
darkness and despair by the light from
its teachings alone, and now walk in the
fellowship of all saints in the full day.
light of joy and peace, which life only
holds when crowned by a scriptural and
personal knowledge Of the central figure
illustrated in its pages, Jesus Christ.

Scnate-The Public Building Site.
All of the committee which went to
Washington last week in the interest OF
an Increased appropriation for the SaVan-
nah hsrbor improvement has returned
with the exception OF Col. Screven, who
went on to New York. Gen. Jackson,
Mayor Lester and Capt. Hull are back,
After waiting several days in Washing
ton the committee was at last given a
hearing. Senator COlquitt and Repre-
sentative Norwood were present.
The Committee on Commerce is one of
the busiest committees in the Senate and
one before which IL is exceedingly ditii-
cult to obtain hearing. The Savannah
committee was cOurteously received.
Gen. Jackson and Col. Screven urged the
necessity for an Immediate appropriation
of the full amount asked for by the en-
gineer to complete the work, and brought
to bear argument and statistics to show
why the appropriation should not be de-
layed.
The members of the committee, non
their return, speak hopefully OF the result
Of their mission. In the event the COM
mittee does not recommend an Increase
in the appropriation an effort will be
made to have the bill increased to the full
amount in the Senate before it goes back
to the House,
While in w ashington some of the COM
mIttee talked with Mr.. Norwood in regard
TO the public building site. Capt. Hull
said yesterday that the Supervising Ar
chitect, he was assured, favors either
Reynolds square or a part OF the barracks
lot. Mr.. Norwood said that if the city
will give the Reynolds square property
the plans will be drawn at once, and the
building will be commenced.
1t is pretty thoroughly underst nod
that the Supervising Architect will not
accept the Union Society site. and that
the barracks lot is the next choice, unless
Reynolds square is Obtainable. Capt.
Hull says he was informed that the
Treasury Department will send special
agent to Savannah to selecta site at once
and that the matter will probably be set
tied in a teWday

WAN LEE ACQUITTED.
A Verdict in short Order This Time
-Henry Sam Slips Up.

A verdict in short order IhlS Ilme
-Henry Sam Slips Up.
Wah Lee, the Ch1naman whose trial
last week for stealing $84 from fellow
countryman resulted in mistrial, was
tried again yesterday in the Superior
Court. There was no new evidence of
special Importance introduced by either
the State or the defense. Henry Sam re-
told practically the story which he gave
on the first trial, and the defendant re-
peated mis- statement. The prosecutor
slipped up, however, on one or two
points. On his first trial he testified that
he had worked two weeks for Sam Lee.
Sam was put on the stand yesterday and
he swore that his dudish cousin had never
worked either for HIM or his brother Joe
Lee.
w. s. Charles, the New York interpre-
ter, translated the defendants statement
and gave it 10 the jury a sentence at d
time. Henry Sans brother took down
Wah Lees statement in Chinese hero
glyphics.
The defendant SAID that Sam was in
his laundry Dec. 27, and wanted TO bor-
row $50, and upon being refused threat
ened to give him some trouble.
The impression created by Wah's state
ment was that he was the victim of a put
up job. The jury was out about half an
hour and found a verdict otnot guilty.
During the trial the court room was
crowded, and there was considerable
amusement. Several Cinnamon were
present and watched the progress of the
trial with interest.
